Supported Channel Widths
Mimosa Backhaul radios support the following channel widths:
Channel Width (MHz)* Total Channel Width (MHz) B5/B5c B5-Lite B11
1x20 20 Yes Yes No
1x40 40 Yes Yes No
1x80 80 Yes Yes No
2x20 40 Yes No Yes
2x40 80 Yes No Yes
2x80 160 Yes No Yes
1x20 FD 40 Yes No Yes
1x40 FD 80 Yes No Yes
1x80 FD 160 Yes No Yes
* Your regulatory domain may limit allowable channel widths.
In the dual channel modes, channels may be contiguous or non-contiguous. There is no self-interference with
contiguous channels. Each channel's center frequency can be set independently. There are some restrictions,
however:
The channels must not overlap, but they can be contiguous without self-interference.1.
Both channels must use the same channel width.2.
Neither channel can overlap excluded bands (government restricted or manually excluded).3.
To provide an example of the flexibility this approach, if planning a link requiring 40 MHz of channel width, this could
be either configured as a single 40 MHz channel, or 2 x 20 MHz channels. The 2 x 20 MHz channels would be a good
option if a clean contiguous 40 MHz of spectrum is unavailable and some resiliency to RF interference is desired,
particularly in regions where DFS is a requirement.
Frequency Diversity (FD) modes allow different Tx channels on each side of a link. This is useful when there isn't a
channel that is mutually suitable for both sides.
